Toyo Harada and Pete Stanchek from Harbinger (Valiant Comics) are both Omega Harbingers which means they have every psychic power there is.

Lanfeust: In a World where every human gets their own, unique magical power (melt metals, teleport, cause thirst, boil water...), there are two people whose magical power becomes absolute (every power ever) when touching the MacGuffin. One's The Hero, the other's the Big Bad.

In the Second Coming arc of X-Men it's revealed that Hope's power is the ability to use any mutant ability ever possessed. She's basically Rogue without having to touch anyone and no time limit on her powers. Also, using said ability undid the Scarlet Witches curse (for lack of a better term) that De Powered thousands of mutants and stopped all mutant births.

In Mistborn, where Mistings have one power each, Mistborn have them all.

In The Grimnoir Chronicles, the Chairman is the first and strongest of the Magicals and has every power it is possible to have in the setting. In the third book where we actually see him fight extensively, it is revealed that each one has a cool-down period when overused forcing him to periodically switch powers during prolonged conflict.

Would Sylar & Peter from Heroes count? Everyone has one power, except Sylar's power is to steal other people's powers, and he's trying to get them all; and Peter has a similar power only he doesn't have to kill the other person. Later modified in Peter's case, in that he can only have the last power he absorbed at any given time.

hevendor717 mentions Mew, but Mew is still limited to its natural learnset and the T Ms / H Ms / move tutor moves (and, often, a few other special moves available on certain Mew distributions). Smeargle, on the other hand, can "Sketch" just about any move, with the only exceptions being a few "special" moves such as Chatot's "Chatter" move. It's not particularly strong, mind you, but it's quite literally got a movepool many times larger than any other pokemon, and can learn almost all of the signature moves (Chatter being one of the few exceptions).

As for the trope name, how about All-In-One Power, or something similar to that?

The Quiz was a supervillain in Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol who had "every power you haven't thought of", which meant that battles with her involved trying to think of and rule out as many powers as possible before she got you with one of the ones you hadn't thought of yet. Presumably, she started out with all the powers.

In the Second Coming arc of X-Men it's revealed that Hope's power is the ability to use any mutant ability ever possessed.

No, the guy simply already has all the types of power that are possible in that universe. Any powers (s)he doesn't exhibit either don't exist by the rules of their universe or (s)he simply didn't exhibit them.
